Next time use Gentoo. Your life will be ruined forever but I assure you none of those “defaults” are imposed… And you get plenty of error messages oh yeah

Not at all …

You are free to do as you please, and I fully respect that.

I was also a no AI coder, but somehow changed my mind slowly as I learned how to use PROPERLY the tool, which can be quite useful.

Learning how to use it has been fun too, so I suggest you give it a try if you haven’t done so yet.

The first risk is abusing it. The second risk is trusting it. And there are many more risks, but AI is a knife and not a pistol: there are good uses for it, but you must be careful and use it properly all the time.

Disclosure is needed, I agree.

Let’s say it feels complex, and the tags will not avoid the discussion in the comments anyway … but it’s a start so good for it

Woah …

This is overly complex.

As a dev that sometimes published something, and I don’t vibe code butnl who doesn’t use AI nowadays? That is way too much complex. And zero projects today don’t use AI in any forms blnot even to search or bugfix …

Can it load models straight from lhuggingface?

Never had mdadm causing that. I have a raid5 array that’s used only for backup once a day and it is mounted 24/7, and the disks are off for 23hba day more or less …

Inotify is the official kernel supported tool that uses the inotify API, again that is the official kernel API for monitoring files and folders.

Its not that immediate to use, specially because there are caveats but works reliably well and indeed get the job done. Why do you say fragile? There isn’t a more comprehensive approach.

Only issue, doesn’t work on NFS and Samba shares.

Go for a n100 or even one with an Atom CPU. Get as much ram as you can afford…

I suggest you open a ticket on akonadi or plasma settings to add that option. That would be a good addition I am always for more settings…

But no, plasma is indeed not in the ballpark of highly customizable de. Maybe more than gnome, but the bar is really low

So what’s the point? A modern and fully integrated de uses background services and those services are required for many pieces to work so much that they have made not that easy to disable the service?

If that’s the point, you are definitely being unreasonable.

On the other hand the service can still be disabled understandably by text file editing to prevent users from breaking their system. I find the lack of an UI setting to disable it a reasonable choice, and yourself are telling me that it’s still removable by user anyway. A power user indeed, but still user manageable.

Plasma user base definitely is not the customize everything people. I think it’s reasonable that akonadi needs deeper user action to be disabled

That service is local only and needed for many apps to work, including stock widgets.

What is your point against akonadi exactly?

I would complain about that search indexer daemon (kglobalaccel or something similar) in plasma that still after years sometimes gobbles up 100% on a CPU core after screen unlock instead … But whatever

A user that want a minimal environment installs a modern complete and featurefull entire desktop environment and then complains that it’s too bloated, at five only on Lemmy.

What is this, reddit nowadays? /S

Anyway, you should uninstall plasma and switch to any of the many more basic Linux GUI environment that better suit you needs, that the magic of Linux after all, nobody forces you to use what you don’t like or don’t approve on your own machine

I use AI, i don’t hate it at all. It’s a tool. And as such needs to be used properly and not abused. Like a knife or a camera or a drone.

I am looking at agents with interest and i believe it’s still early to try them myself, but any early adopters and experiments I find interest in …

I Hope you done get down voted to oblivion. I found the read interesting.

While I still don’t see advantage in using agents for these tasks, because I have fun doing them myself, I have great interest to see where all this leads.

I was put off by ComfyUI, seems awfully complex. How is your experience?

Any suggestions to start? I have Fooocus installed now

No, really, wireguard encryption overhead is negligible unless you have a really old CPU (like a Pentium100 or something).

Whatever slows down your N100 is not wireguard per se, probably some tailscale overhead going trough their servers.

I have a fairly dated rented server, with an Atom D510, 2 cores, which is 10 years old, and accessing it over wireguard or not, I can still max out the network bandwidth without any visible CPU overhead.

The maximum internet speed you get is the speed of the slowest link in between your house, your ISP, any other network in the middle, and the ISP you are using to connect your remote device to the internet itself

On top of that, put tailscale. Assuming packets go directly between home and your remote device, then tailscale should not impact. But if the packets do go trough a tailscale server, like you have no public IP address at home, or CG-NAT, then that will be the bottleneck most probably.

Tailscale on itself isn’t a measurable overhead.

In general, for home network speed, consider your home UPLOAD speed (as that will the seen as “download” speed from outside) not the download speed, which is often many times faster.

Fake? As is? Vibe coded? Or just old style UI? Have you ever tried stuff like XFCE or even TWM?

Man I feel old

Great man! Gentoo lover and long time addicted here… Keep it the good work!

There is an active fork which job is to accept public patches before they are accepted in cwa. The fork acknowledge that cwa development speed is not that fast, privilege on stability.

I switched on the fork happily

hosting it since long time… Amazing! Great to be able to play directly in browser. My kid loves it…
